If possible, try to stay in the city. As you say, there are a few areas: Back Bay/Copley, the South End, the Waterfront (and the new Waterfront in South Boston), and downtown. These are all about 10 minutes from each other by T.

Hi,

I%26#39;m guessing you%26#39;re using a site like hotwire and priceline that divide the city and its%26#39; surroundings in a sometimes myserious way. In all my years I%26#39;ve never heard of Boston%26#39;s ';East Side.'; I%26#39;ve heard of East Boston of course but...

Anyway, the downtown areas that are tourist- friendly and have lots of hotels are as follows:
